Trump is contemplating returning to Afghanistan, wanting to reclaim the Bagram Airbase and asking for the return of all the weapons left behind by Biden. Did he asked the Taliban to agree? Would the Taliban oblige?
The Taliban still have cards to play and hands to deal. If he cannot force the Taliban to acquiesce like forcing Zelenskyy, he would have to start another invasion of Afghanistan. Using the excuse of taking out terrorist like Al Queda, he needs inventing and fabricating another lie, maybe a false flag attack on USA assets like 911, and then designating the Taliban as the terrorists responsible.
Would Trump now also threaten Vietnam to let the USA station troops in several USA bases in South Vietnam which they occupied prior to the Vietnam War? How about compensating the USA for more than fifty thousand USA troops killed in the war?
Having said that, Trump will not be asking Japan to compensate for the Pearl Harbor fiasco, would he?

Hope Trump goes ahead and gets embroiled in another 20-year fiasco in Afghanistan. The Taliban just would not leave the USA alone at Bagram Airbase for sure, just like the previous 20 years. Now the Taliban even have a military force to gloat about, with all the weapons seized from the USA when it ran off with tails between its legs.
Afghanistan is not called the 'Graveyard of Empires' for nothing. The Russians found that out and the USA too, the hard way, just recently. It might even be the real fall of the USA empire trying to play around inside the 'Graveyard of Empires'.
And that will make things even more dire for the USA, having to deal with Iran and Afghanistan. And the Houthis in Yemen will be celebrating. When that happens, the reality is that the stretch of South Asia, minus India, will be pushed into the influence of China - Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran, together with Yemen as well. Even Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are now closer to China than ever before. And what does that leave India?
